Secret Service confiscates books & buttons from Ron Paul delegates - Updated
Today at the Republican National Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates were taking a picture in front of the model White House inside the Convention Center, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search the bags of all the delegates. They took any and everything related to Ron Paul including signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books.
Alternate Delegate Dennis Rothacker from Florida said “We were done taking the picture when Secret Service started walking into the room and surrounded us. There were about 30 of them. When they searched my bags they took my Ron Paul sign and turned a deaf ear to my complains, they just walked away.”
Delegate Ron Warner from Fairbanks Alaska added that as he was walking into the convention center today with about 15 Revolution Manifesto books, 20 DVD’s for Delegates, 20 Ron Paul buttons and a handful of other things, we was stopped by security which called on an obviously important higher up, who directed all the materials to be confiscated. She told him, and I quote “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory”
Dennis, Ron and the other delegates report being openly followed by secret service. He says that they had been monitored from the beginning of the convention, but that now they are being shadowed constantly.
There are also reports of delegates being approached by security and told that they will be summarily thrown out if they leave their assigned chair.

Big time whoa.
Messing with the delegates is off the charts wrong.
The system is a sham, yes, but it's time honored and the delegates should be off limits.
Holy cow, we're spiraling fast. |

If it makes you feel better, I think it should be pinned. The second link had an article that came up that I figured the people in charge here wouldn't appreciate. That's why I said that.
I just read all the posts from the delegate check-in on the one site and let me just say, WOW. If only half of what they are claiming is true then I owe all the people that I thought were nutjobs an apology because we have so been scammed. Confiscating books, pins and posters, selectively ignoring votes, intimidation and bribery, it's all there. After my initial reaction of being spitting mad about it, now I really, really want to be a delegate myself. I want to see the Black Hat Squad in action! They can follow me all day long, and be bored for it. I wouldn't let them see me sweat. |

Updated: @ 7:37 PM - EST
The alarm was sounded at 6:07 PM - EST when a text message was hurriedly sent from the convention floor by Republican delegate Dennis Rothacker to ‘Boris in Miami’.
“We just had a group shot of all the RP delegates and alternates, the secret service came and started searching everyone and took anything RP related. We got it on video though…”
Updated @ 8:18 PM - EST
Ron Paul delegates report that they have been shadowed by Secret Service since the beginning of the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Center, following the confiscation of their political materials they are now being surveilled openly with an agent assigned to each delegate. When one of the delegates asked if they could retrieve their property after the convention they were told, “No.” not satisfied with that answer the delegate tried to follow the agent to make additional inquiries, he was told this action was causing a disturbance and a security agent was told to stay with him for the rest of the evening. For their safety the Ron Paul delegation have decided to stick together as a group while approaching the media with their story.
Updated @ 9:32 PM - EST
McCain delegates at large have approached Ron Paul delegates throughout the day in attempts to seperate them from their all important delegate credentials. Adam Weigold, delegate from Minnesota, reported he has been approached at least five times by other Republican delegates supporting McCain-Palin who asked him to borrow his pass to go the bathroom. Nathan Hanson (MN) delegate and attorney suspects this is an organized effort by the GOP establishment.
The Ron Paul delegation will be staying at the Xcel Center until the end of the nights events around 11:00 PM - EST. |

St Paul, MNBoris MoralesSept, 04 200822:54 ESTDelegate Dennis Rothacker from FL opened this story when he sent thefollowing urgent text message:*"We just had a group shot of all the RP delegates and alternates, thesecret service came and started searching everyone and took anything RPrelated. We got it on video though...
"*Today at the Republican National Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates weretaking a picture in front of the model White House inside the ConventionCenter, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search thebags of all the delegates. They took everything related to Ron Paulincluding signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books. "This isan obvious and outrageous violation of our first amendment rights" saidNathan Hanson, attorney and Delegate from MN.
Alternate Delegate Dennis Rothacker from Florida said "We were done takingthe picture when Secret Service started walking into the room and surroundedus. There were about 30 of them. When they searched my bags they took my RonPaul sign and turned a deaf ear to my complaints, they just walked away."Another delegate said that the people surrounding them were wearing redMcCain hats and identified themselves as police to him.Delegate Ron Warner from Fairbanks, Alaska added that as he was walking intothe convention center today with about 15 Revolution Manifesto books, 20DVD's for Delegates, 20 Ron Paul buttons and a handful of other things, hewas stopped by security which called on upon an apparent supervisor,who directed all the materials to be confiscated. She told him, "You can't bring that in here, this is McCain territory"Dennis, Ron and the other delegates report being openly followed by SecretService.
Dennis says that delegates known to support Ron Paul had beenopenly monitored from the beginning of the convention, but that now they arebeing shadowed constantly by these people.There are also reports of delegates being approached by security and toldthat they will be summarily thrown out if they leave their assigned chair,and are advised not to walk around.Delegate Corey Sax From MN's district five was on the floor and he witnessedsix oral votes for Ron Paul out of a forty something total delegation. Thesevotes were counted, but not read aloud by the RNC in the count or shown inthe screen.
He and others said that they thought there was an obviousattempt to suppress the votes casted for Ron Paul.Corey says that Ron Carey and Tim (last name missing) witnessed the RNC tellthem that they had technical difficulties and that was the reason for notreading the votes for Ron Paul. He says that the same happened to the Texasdelegation and the delegation from other states. He clearly stated thatillegal under-counting of delegates votes was going on across many statesdelegations.
It appears that the number of votes casted for Ron Paul werenot read aloud or posted on the screen.Adam Weigold, Delegate from MN, reported that today he has been approachedat least five times by other delegates at large who ask him to borrow hispass to go the bathroom.
From his conversation with other delegates, hebelieves that this is part of an orchestrated effort because many of themhave been approached. Without their pass credentials, they would not be ableto claim their seat or remain at the convention.Other delegates who gave interviews were Jeff Austin, from NC, and Nathan Hanson,a delegate and attorney from MN.The delegates remain at the convention center till 10:30 or 11:00PM.
Theywere planning to approach the media and demand that this obvious disregardfor the first amendment and for their votes in a national US election forpresident be reported by the national media.St Paul MN |

I noticed they were'nt counting his votes correctly, or announcing on the mic when they were reading them off while watching it the other night. This is absolutely ridiculous, and makes me sick |

The video would be helpful.
I've been trying to come up with a rational argument for the actions of the secret service, especially in taking the Ron Paul literature and paraphernalia from the Ron Paul delegates. And I've come to this conclusion: There ain't none.
Plain and simple, this is an egregious violation of civil rights. |
